For feminists desiring a cyberutopia, the internet is an exciting ‘playground for the experimenting with gender symbols and identity, a space to escape from the dichotomy of gender and the boundaries produced by physical bodies’ (van Zoonen, 2002: 12). The internet can be viewed as a gathering place for feminists and as a place to enact or perform gender subversions. It is a place where women – typically limited by their physicality and its associated bodily subjugation – can experiment with fewer social or bodily consequences.
How could we situate feminist pornography arguments in a cyberutopia? Pornography has taken on its own version of reworking itself into the digital age. Considering networked feminisms, how can we interpret agency, divisions of labor, and mind/body dualism relevant to this industry?
